Sinusitis can happen in any individual through lesser or larger degree even when you have a bit of a colds, but having said that chronic sinusitis is not normal, recurring sinusitis is escalating and can have serious portrayals. We have noticed that many people who have intractable sinusitis also has recurrent sore throats, infection in the throat, chronic tonsillitis chronic bronchitis and even asthma. So treating sinusitis alleviates the patient from the frequency and the severity of the lower respiratory diseases also. So this is one of the common causes, chronic sinusitis that is caused by the polyps can sometimes cause breach of the bone, as a result of which you can have polyps in the nasal cavity where the sinus is coming and going laterally even into the orbit, punching the eyeballs oewnmtim the sinuses can have infection caused by fungi that can erode the bone and all the nearby structures can get affected. So sinusitis from the fugal causes can cause rupture of the bone. So the sinusitis has to be treated aggressively and the patient has to be on regular follow up and ensure that the patient does the postoperative toileting of the nose, which is the main stay of treatment after the surgeries.
